Chapter 409: Rising Dark Tide
“Da da da!!!”
On the road leading to Beishan Fort, Guan Dadao, who wrapped himself tightly, led his brothers, riding a donkey and galloping forward against the wind and frost.
The nine admirals of Meng Yuan, as well as police officers from various counties, and even soldiers launched a hunt for them.
However, they were well prepared and returned to the mountain area controlled by Beishan Fort without any danger. They mounted their donkeys and galloped away.
Soon, they returned to Beishan Fort.
Inside the fort.
Wu Mansion, in the front yard.
Wu Nian was wearing spring clothes, holding a wooden stick of suitable length and standing, looking ahead.
Opposite is Zhang Zhen, also wearing spring clothes and holding a wooden stick.
Although it is still the end of winter and the weather is cold, for the two martial arts practitioners, it is already spring.
Every grain of rice and every mouthful of meat that Zhang Zhen eats is not in vain, and practicing martial arts with the boxing and kicking teacher every day is not in vain either.
He has grown up, taller, and stronger. His face is no longer round, his features are clear, and he has become somewhat heroic.
"Uncle, I'm about to get fucked." Zhang Zhen held the wooden stick tightly with both hands and stared at Wu Nian with his big eyes, extremely nervous.
My uncle is a peerless military commander.
When sparring with him, you have to maintain 12% concentration.
"Go up if you want. Don't worry about mother-in-law and mother-in-law." Wu Nian said angrily.
"Kill!!!" Zhang Zhen opened his eyes wide and roared angrily. He moved his feet forward and rushed straight towards Wu Nian. Before he could reach him, the wooden stick in his hand had already been swung out and slashed fiercely at Wu Nian's chest.
"Bump!" With a sound, Wu Nian hit Zhang Zhen's stick away with a stick, then turned his wrist and put the stick on Zhang Zhen's neck.
One move!
"Uncle, I'm so useless." Zhang Zhen rubbed his numb hands and said dejectedly.
"No, no. It's not that you are too useless, but that I bully your uncle. When you grow up, your uncle will no longer be your opponent." Wu Nian smiled and put away the stick and reached out to touch it.
Zhang Zhen’s head.
This kid used to be fat, but now he has developed it.
He has practiced fists, feet, and weapons in constant cold and heat, and has extraordinary perseverance. His parents were both from military backgrounds, and he has been strong since he was a child.
It's a good seedling.
Wu Nian raised him as his son and had a strong teaching staff. But his current ability is the result of his own efforts.
"You need to practice martial arts, but you also need to read books, especially military books. This kid may be a general in the future."
Wu Nian thought to himself.
The two are biological uncles and nephews. Wu Nian is also very good at judging people. This child is calm, filial and capable.
I'm afraid he won't be able to help in the war to drive the Mongolians out of Liaodong.
But after that, the child can first follow the battle as a young general, and slowly become a general through experience.
If Zhang Zhen doesn't have the skills.
Wu Nian could only ensure that he would not have to worry about food and drink.
But since he is a good man, of course he has ambitions in all directions.
"Dad, you're wrong. When he grows up, he won't be able to compare to dad. Hehe." Li Ya, who was watching the battle from the side, flew up with her short legs and hugged Wu Nian's hand from behind.
He stretched out his waist, stuck out his little head, and smiled at Zhang Zhen.
Zhang Zhen touched the back of his head, nodded and said, "My cousin is right."
Two childhood sweethearts, childhood sweethearts.
Wu Nian often lamented that this little cabbage of mine would be ruined by his nephew.
But compared to her childhood sweetheart, the good girl still looks towards her father.
Wu Nian couldn't help but feel elated, but his face remained calm.
"General Guan Dadao is back." An official came in from outside. His eyes lit up when he saw Wu Nianhou, and he quickly stepped forward and bent down.
"Have all the men returned? Is the matter done?" Wu Nian's eyes lit up, and he immediately forgot about his nephew and daughter, and took a step forward to ask.
"A lot of them are back. Tao Dayou is dead. He was killed outside Dadu City in broad daylight." The official raised his head and said with a happy face.
"Good. Very good."
Wu Nian nodded repeatedly, walked out of the Wu Mansion with a loud laugh, came to the Fuhan General's Mansion, and entered the main room.
"General."
In the hall, only Guan Da Dao was sitting and waiting. When he saw Wu Nian, he immediately stood up, bent down and clasped his fists in salute.
"Well done. Not only did it relieve the bad breath in my heart, but it also destroyed the layout of the Meng Yuan people. The merits are due to thousands of years."
Wu Nian stepped forward and helped Guan Dadao. He said sincerely: "Brother, thank you for your hard work."
"The general's words are serious. This is what we should do." Guan Dadao shook his head and said seriously.
Wu Nian let go of Guan Dadao, and asked people to bring him cakes and tea for Guan Dadao. The two parties exchanged a few words in a relaxed manner. Then Wu Nian said: "You are all tired. Go back and rest first."
"In addition, I was supposed to prepare a banquet for you to wash away the dust. But after thinking about it, there is still no real reward. I have already handed over the reward. Brother, go to the warehouse to receive the reward."
"General, this will kill us. It is our duty to kill for the general." Guan Dadao couldn't sit still anymore, stood up quickly and shook his head.
"No. Killing and taking lives is what you are good at. You are also passionate about killing Meng Yuan people, regardless of life and death. But this is your business. As a general, I should care for my brothers and subordinates."
"I can't be sorry for you who have gone through life and death."
"Don't feel guilty, don't be afraid. You deserve this. Go down and receive your reward. Then have a good rest for ten and a half days, and then report back to the army."
Wu Nian smiled and reassured.
"Yes." Guan Dadao wanted to refuse, but he was speechless. He could only take a deep breath, clasped his fists and bent over, then turned around and left.
"It's really a pleasure. What kind of No. 1 scholar? Let me see who dares to take part in the imperial examination of the Mongolian Yuan people and become the No. 1 scholar in the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty. Once the Mongolian Yuan people take the imperial examination, I will launch an assassination. Hmph."
"No. I have to find someone to have a drink with to celebrate."
Wu Nian felt so happy that he couldn't sit still. After thinking about it for a while, he sent someone to invite Tieniu over. The two brothers closed the door and had a good drink.
...........
Wu Nian is moving forward step by step and doing his own thing.
Wu Jing, Xiong Wuwo is not idle either.
The people they sent passed through the Mongolian territory without any danger, reached the sphere of influence of Beishan Fort, and quietly approached Zhang Guang Fort.
This castle was once attacked by Wu Nian, who then took away all the military households and became desolate.
After Wu Nian defeated 40,000 households, he moved the people back again. He also mobilized the headquarters of the captains. Currently, Long Qie is in charge here.
The population is about 20,000, and there are three thousand households with soldiers and horses. Spring has not yet begun, and the fields outside the city are very flat. Long Qie built three large camps outside the city, conducting small drills for soldiers and horses every day, and a big drill every three days.
"The general said. The more you sweat on weekdays, the less blood will be shed on the battlefield. Don't blame me for being cruel. If you want to deal with the Mongolian soldiers, you must be stronger than them and less afraid of death than them."
"Practice them all for me, even to death."
"Of course. I won't treat you badly with food. Today there will be meat and fat."
Long Qie was holding a horse's spear eight feet long in his hand and wearing a battle coat. He was galloping on the school field and kept shouting. Meanwhile, a soldier from a thousand households was practicing.
The roar is endless and very majestic.
Long Qie stopped his horse, nodded slightly, and smiled on his face.
